My dad talked to the solicitor and they said they didn’t want the case
There is a lot more shit that hospital did that they should be sued for, but it’s a bit complicated
Annoying but I understand.
Without money things are difficult to fix or hold people accountable
Also I think he is a bit done with courts on top of everything else xD
Fair.
Also child support was still happening when this was all happening xD
Pretty difficult to fight a court case while also having to pay child support
For context, my mum has kicked me out of home, my dad was in hospital and couldn’t pay it, so I payed for the child support that was meant to me for raising me... the child
System is fucked
That is disgusting, are there no allowances for being *literally physically unable to work*?
A genuinely Kafkaesque nightmare.
Pretty sure there are laws where being in a coma is no excuse for missing support payments
Well, shit. That might just be the best excuse I've ever seen to not get anyone pregnant
Reminds me of seeing this today
What would they even do to someone who's comatose and missing child support payments anyway? Cart his body off to court and then to prison? 😬
Like I realize that's being facetious but how would they even enforce that
Just financially ruin him when he wakes up.
Well there was a guy who was captive in the Middle East, when he was finally released he was arrested as soon as he got home because of overdue child support
So you say you are being facetious but I honestly wouldn’t put that past them xD
That is genuinely awful, imagine the kids being ecstatic just to have their father back from a life threatening situation, and then... boom, he's arrested
Also if you miss one payment ever, no matter the reason, you are actually “legally” labeled as a deadbeat dad for the rest of your life
Which can be held against you in future
In court
Sorry, just curious, what country do you live in? I noticed "mum" so presumably not America
Australia
😃
Child support seems to be unfair no matter the country, it’s just insanity
Australia is actually kind of lucky as it is one of few countries that doesn’t have Alimony
What about the "splitting the property" thing?
Are you sure it's not just called spousal maintenance? That's what it is in the UK
We're essentially the same country after all 😎
Pfft, fucking poms xD
And no, doesn’t exist
And what do you mean by splitting property? You mean like people fighting in courts on who gets to keep the TV?
Or the house
But that's surely different from alimony
It’s just based on the courts rule, each partner makes a case on who has more right to the thing and the court decides who gets it
Seems reasonable on the surface
Well my dad lost the hose he paid for because mother needed it to raise us kinds that he now had no rights to.
Yet he absolutely had "rights" to pay child support for kids he couldn't see... 😬
